At 16, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I was still a virgin at the time, but they checked my ovaries and my clitoris and all that, making sure it wasn't abnormal. Well, I had a major hair issue growing up and so they automatically started treating me for my hair growth. Soon after, when I was a month shy of 17(in the middle of Sept to be exact), I lost my virginity and they did further test and gave me another medication so I wouldn't lose my fertility. Well, they also put me on a birth control called yazmin. Well, everything was fine until the following Jan. my mother had me tested for HPV.

Well, they tested me and my pap came up abnormal and I found out I had the kind to cause Cervical Cancer. I had a mass of cells or something that they had to clip out of me by going in while doing a pap and freezing it and all that. (The procedure started with a C. A colposcapy or something.) Well. Ever since then, I've been having issues with my...area down there.

The first few months after that was fine. I still had the same sex partner and all that. Well. Around April, he and I broke up and I got with this guy. Around May, he and I had sex. A few weeks later, we had unprotected sex (he wanted to and I warned him what I had) and I got a MAJOR yeast infection. I went to the doctors and took that pill and everything was okay, so I thought. A week or so after I had sex with him again and it was almost everyday to every other day. But after wards (we did it in the dark alot) I would clean up and see a discharge that kinda looked like a yeast infection. Well, I've had it ever since and I'm not 19. Everytime I go to a Gynocologist, I get the same thing, "It's a yeast infection." and they give me the pill and it doesn't take care of it. Some even said I'm too young to have sex and that it's my bodies way of letting me know.

...So I guess what I'm asking is if it's normal in other people who have HPV or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or people who have HPV? Or is it a contiuous yeast infection, or my diet or SOMETHING?

I would appreciate some help...it's really causing a self esteem issue...and it's driving me crazy.

Hope this helps

I'm not really familiar with your diagnoses, in fact I just heard about it today. I do know that when a female has a yeast infection she can spread it to her partner. So it does not matter if you continue to be treated for yeast infections, as long as you continue to have sex with him you will contract a yest infection. So the next time you go to the doctor your partner should be treated for a yeast infection as well.

I can also agree, to cut down on a yeast infection and also a UTI you need to cool it for a week or so. I know its hard but it will help a lot. As for PCOS I have suspicion that I have it, so does my doctor, and I am a little sad about that fact because my future hubby and I wanted to have children but with the way things are it makes it a lot more difficult to have that happen. I wish you luck and as for the doctors saying that its your body telling you that you are too young for sex thats just them being really conservative. I would say find a good doctor that you get along with well and hopefully matches up with your interests. lots of luck.
